House For Sale

House for sale in northeast Dallas is a pristine '50s time capsule

Teresa Gubbins
Feb 5, 2021 | 10:29 am

Finding older homes for sale in Dallas that have not been renovated or flipped is becoming harder and harder to do — especially one that is in such pristine condition as this gorgeous '50s home on 11076 Erhard Dr., in the Saint Andrews Addition neighborhood of northeast Dallas.

Located across from the Dallas Athletic Club, it's a three-bedroom two-bathroom home on a nearly half-acre lot described as a "gem" on its listing by Thomae Realty.

Built in 1955, it's a virtual time capsule, thanks to its immaculate condition. It's priced at $379,760, which agent Russell Thomae says reflects the rarity of finding a house that size on a lot that big.

The house has 3,680 square feet, which includes three unusual living spaces that have been added over the years, including a sun room with heated indoor pool and exercise room, and a 14x20 detached work shop with electricity and AC.

There is also a natural gas generator connected to the house to provide power if electricity is lost.

But the real value is in the fact that the house has been so scrupulously maintained. Original hardwood floors, which run throughout most of the house, look brand new. (The floors in the kitchen and new additions are tile.)

There are two bathrooms with original tile, both in impeccable condition, one a classic pink, the other a mint green.

The pink bathroom has a pink bathtub, OMG, in a pink-tiled enclosure with gray tile piping. It also has an adjacent shower, and a chandelier. Toilet and vanity are white and not original; were they once upon a time pink as well?

The green bathroom is equally spacious, with two sinks — rare in those days — and its own bathtub.

Both bathrooms have extensive storage with adjoining entryways containing built-in drawers and cabinets.

The kitchen is a large U-shaped space that opens into the dining room; the kitchen has enough room to fit a floating island workstation in the center.

It has original wood cabinets, but with replacement white doors. It's definitely a look, and not a modern look, but the kitchen does boast your typical updates including granite countertops, new backsplash, and stainless steel appliances.

History
The home has had two owners: Jerry and Ruth Wright bought it from the original owners in 1995, and took care of it lovingly, says their son Jeff Wright. They've both passed away and he's handling the sale, and let us all bow down to him for not painting the exterior brick a ghastly gray.

"My father was an engineer, and my family always just did things right," Jeff says. For example, there's a heated jet pool in the exercise room for which they built a removable cover that looks like wood flooring, not just some cheap tarp.

"It's had some nice additions over the years," Jeff says. "The house used to be separated from garage, connected by a breezeway. They enclosed the breezeway, but kept the exterior brick walls, and it still looks great. The space is heated and air-conditioned, too, so it could even be used for other purposes, like a computer room or study."

The home has two gas fireplaces: One is in the stacked formal living room, which also boasts wall sconces and a pair of built-in cabinets with see-through glass doors, designed to display the collection of fine china you pull out for holiday dining.

To really set off the formal element, the cabinets are topped by columns, which Google indicates are done in the Ionic style, how cool is that? New owners of this house, please pretty please keep the Ionic columns.

The other fireplace is in the den, which most people (not everyone, though) would probably be relieved to see has had its original wood paneling and fireplace painted white. #disapprove

St. Andrews Addition is a small area known for its sprawling '50s ranch homes, which even as recently as 2015 could be had for as low as $200,000. Not the case now; at its current price, agent Russell Thomae says this house already has a couple of offers.

Second fireplace is in the den.

Best of the Wurst

Some meaty tips for the best jaunt through Wurstfest in New Braunfels

If you can't relax with some sausages, when can you relax?

New Braunfels is a bit of a drive for Dallasites, but fans of German beer and food have a great incentive to go before the event ends on November 13.

Wurstfest is in full swing again in the popular Hill Country town, coming out of its first weekend of 2022 festivities. Admission is free from Monday to Thursday, then $18 online for the weekend.

Although the German food is at least half the draw, Wurstfest could be called Bierfest with the sheer volume of beers it serves. And they’re not expecting too many visitors drinking before business hours end in the rather quaint New Braunfels. So, Wurstfest starts at 5 pm on weekdays, but the five hours it’s open (ending at 10 pm) offer plenty of ways to pass the time.

All weekdays start with live music at 5:30 pm on all five stages across the old German grounds. (For those who haven’t visited, this is basically a theme park: visitors wander through timber framed beer halls, past many, many concession stands, down the Comal River to a fairground, all without stepping out of Germany, it seems.) From those opening sets, there’s near-constant music on three of the stages.

Most of the entertainment comes from live music and the novelty of wandering around among the lederhosen and dirndls. (Those drinking less than friends should strongly consider bringing a book — this is from experience.) But there is some light programming every day to break up the drinking and dancing, especially for visitors with kids.

Wednesday bring smasskrugstemmen (beer holding) contest and a magic show. On Thursday, kids can hear some storytelling, and Friday, Veteran’s Day, honors veterans with a salute. Following crowds will also bring visitors to shopping, sausage-making demonstrations, and children’s fair rides.

Perhaps needless to say, the food is legitimately excellent; this is, at its heart, a culinary event, and serves more than standard fried fair foods. Obviously, sausage is a great choice, but there are potatoes, gravy, pickles, and sauerkraut to go around.

Returning revelers are thrilled to share their best recommendations for the food and imported beers. Pacing yourself, three to five hours is a very reasonable stretch for trying as much as possible and returning to old favorites.

Wurstfest tickets are available now at wurstfest.com, along with more information and entertainment schedules.

Crime News

Dallas man charged with killing rapper Mo3 sentenced for firearms

Dallas rapper Mo3 was killed on November 11, 2020.

A Dallas man accused of murdering rapper Mo3 was sentenced for possession of a 9mm semi-automatic pistol.

According to a release from U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Chad E. Meacham, Kewon Dontrell White, 23, received 105 months, or nearly nine years, in a federal prison after pleading guilty in May to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

White was sentenced on November 8 by U.S. District Judge Karen Gren Scholer.

White was previously convicted of felony offenses involving unauthorized use of motor vehicles and evading arrest and detention. That offense took place in August 2020, when officers saw White commit a traffic violation on his dirt bike while driving down West Pleasant Run Road in Lancaster.

They tried to pull him over, but he fled the scene. Officers chased him as he crashed his dirt bike and ran on foot, before he was detained a short time later and discovered the pistol in his pants pocket.

White has also been charged by Dallas County with the murder of 28-year-old rapper Melvin Noble, also known as M03, who was gunned down and killed on I-35 on November 11, 2020.

White was arrested for Noble's murder on December 9, 2020, after being identified by a witness. That case remains pending.

Supermarket News

Sprouts supermarket in Dallas' Lakewood neighborhood has an opening date

Sprouts Farmers Market
Their produce selection is mighty fine.

In the latest supermarket news, there's an opening date for the newest Sprouts Farmers Market coming to Dallas.

Located in the Lakewood-ish area at the Hillside Village center at 6465 E. Mockingbird Ln. #322, it's opening on November 18. A release says that they'll host a ribbon-cutting on Friday morning at 6:45 am. Oooh, that's a tad early.

But there'll be opening-themed events all weekend. To wit:

  • Friday, the first 250 shoppers will receive a reusable goodie bag filled with product samples from featured brands.
  • Saturday, beginning at 7 am, the first 200 guests will receive a golden envelope filled with coupons.
  • A caramel apple charcuterie demo from Thyme & Date with samplings will be available all weekend.

Throughout the weekend, they'll distribute samples from pioneering brands at the Vendor Village, with kids’ games, a DJ, and more.

From November 18-20, customers who text “DALLAS” to 777-688 will receive 20 percent off their purchase when they scan their account barcode at checkout. Through the app, shoppers can view the Sprouts’ weekly ad and save more than $100 with digital coupons on grocery staples and new items every month.

Headquartered in Phoenix, Sprouts is one of the largest and fastest growing specialty retailers of fresh, natural, and organic food in the U.S., with approximately 380 stores in 23 states.

The new store, which is going into what used to be a Stein Mart, will feature locally produced products, including fruits and vegetables from Chip Berry Produce, South Tex Organics, and True Harvest Farms.

Additionally, through Sprouts’ Food Rescue program, the new store will donate groceries that are no longer fit for sale but remain edible and nutrient rich to the North Texas Food Bank.

The intersection is not without supermarket presence: There's a Tom Thumb directly across Abrams Road. However, the Albertson's that used to be across Mockingbird Lane is no longer there.
